"This award is given for A Morphing Mask that transformed by appearing to cry. This innovative mask left the Appraisers weeping tears of joy. This team's free-standing Morphing Mask appeared to change appearance without the assistance of a team member. Before the audience's eyes, a Pollution monster crumbled to reveal a weeping Spirit which mourned its tainted waters and then cleansed the ocean. Cleverly placed dowels allowed the original face to fall away and turn into kelp. This team creatively used an IV bag of water and food coloring to release tears which poured down the Spirit's face into a basin below. Strategically-placed holes at the bottom of the face allowed a team member to retract the pollution into the mask. Our spirits were moved by this unique and innovative solution."
